Phase noise measured using an API Technologies crystal oscillator at 25C. External reference phase noise performance
dependent on customers supplied source. 100 MHz Reference. All performance data is defined as typical measured at 25C.
Testing
Testing our designs using modern equipment like this 4 port Agilent
Network Analyzer allows API Engineers and Technicians to confirm
performance of their designs at both ends of the spectrum, as
well as deliver a complete and comprehensive data package
to their customer.
For improved
phase noise
and stability, an
internal OCXO is
an option.
Features
Comb spacing as close as 1 MHz
Designs up to 18 GHz output

| Comb Generators |
APIs Series 95 Comb Generators use a Step Recovery Diode (SRD) to generate very narrow voltage
spikes. These in turn produce an output frequency spectrum rich in harmonics. The spacing between the
signals is equal to the source that drives the SRD which in most cases is a stable crystal oscillator. The
crystal oscillator is normally internal, however an external signal can be used to drive the SRD. These
features combined with proven reliability and value, is why API Technologies is your #1 choice for Comb
Generators.
OPTION 1
Optional output bandpass
filters target a specific
band of interest.
OPTION 2
Fast GaAs or High Isolation
PIN Diode switches
can be added.
OPTION 3
Splitters and multiple filter
topologies can be integrated to
further customize the Comb to
meet your specific requirements.

Up To The Challenge
Improving upon a previous vendors
performance is a challenge API engineers
undertake with pride, as in the case of a synthesizer
involved in an all-weather radar system. The customers
radars were in the -47 dBc range for clutter rejection and they
were looking for a synthesizer to get them to -54 dBc. The previous
vendor delivered a synthesizer which peaked out at only -52 dBc. When
they called API Technologies, our engineers took on the challenge and
delivered a unit which improved overall performance to -64 dBc.
They needed to guard against losing the reference signal and possibly compromising
the accuracy of the PLOs output. Our engineers added a unique bit error output
signal which provided the customers engineers protection against
a disabled reference signal.
